- Title
New perspectives on sleep disturbances and memory in human pathological and psychopharmacological states.
- Authors
Piggott, Margaret A.; Perry, Elaine K.
- Abstract
Matthew Walker's article has prompted us to consider neuropsychiatric disorders and pharmacological effects associated with sleep alterations, and aspects of memory affected. Not all disorders involving insomnia show memory impairment, and hypersomnias can be associated with memory deficits. The use of cholinergic medication in dementia indicates that consideration of the link between sleep and memory is more than academic.
